Roxie Theater: Give Me Liberty

September 15, 2019 @ 8:20 pm - 10:20 pm

Medical transport driver Vic is late, but it’s not his fault. Roads are closed for a protest, and no one else can shuttle his Russian grandfather and émigré friends to a funeral. The new route uproots his scheduled clients, particularly Tracy (Lauren “Lolo” Spencer in a breakout performance), a vibrant young woman with ALS. As the day goes from hectic to off-the-rails, their collective ride becomes a hilarious, compassionate, and intersectional portrait of American dreams and disenchantment.

A certifiable hit at Cannes & the Sundance Film Festival, the film is “Completely, delightfully unpredictable from scene to scene, drawing you in with its moving performances and blasts of broad comedy.” – Manola Dargis, NY Times.
